Mast F235

[Freddy]

On a F235, can one or two men raise the mast , Have you tired to launch it from a trailer ?

one can rasie the mast with

the right equipment. I made a standing A-framewith a wench to lower and raise the mast. I have launched and retrieved it from a trailer, I have the wing keel version and a trialer extension tounge.

Yes

There is a guy in Alameda named Jay that can raise and lower the mast all by himself. He made a custom mast base that pivots. I hope to see it work this week. I will let you know how it works. Jay is a 100% dry sailor and keeps his F235 on a trailer whenever he is not sailing it.--Dan
